Dinamo Zagreb vs Arsenal Prediction and Preview – 16/09/15
Champions League preview – Dinamo Zagreb vs Arsenal prediction
Dinamo are back in the Champions League after two years away, and on a 41-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. Croatian champions host English side Arsenal which also enjoyed very good start in the Premier League.
The visitors are likely to be without Per Mertesacker after the defender was involved in a minor road traffic accident on Monday. The Gunners are also without Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck.
Possible Line-ups
Dinamo Zagreb: 4-3-3 formation: Eduardo; Pinto, Taraval, Sigali, Pivaric; Rog, Antolic, Machado; Pjaca, Hodzic, Henriquez
Arsenal: 4-2-3-1 formation: Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Gabriel, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez; Walcott
Statistics
- Dinamo Zagreb have won 6 and drawn 4 of their last 10 matches
- Arsenal have won 8, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 10 matches
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Dinamo Zagreb have scored an average of 2.3 goals and conceded an average of 0.7 goals per game
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Arsenal have scored an average of 2 goals and conceded an average of 0.4 goals per game
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Dinamo Zagreb’s previous 10 matches
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of Arsenal’s previous 10 matches
Prediction
This will be Dinamo’s third appearance in the group stage in Champions League in the past five years, but on the last two occasions they have been dumped out of Europe after finishing rock bottom of the group. Former Manchester United striker Angelo Henriquez will line up against Arsenal. The Chilean has three goals in his last two games and should be one of the main threats against the Gunners.
Arsenal will be desperate to kick off their Champions League campaign with a win in order to keep tabs with group favourites Bayern Munich. Arsenal triumphed 3:0 in this corresponding fixture in 2006, and they should also come through with similar ease here.
